Polka - it's much easier to keep bathroom floors clean when men aren't around - and DS's.
Toochoosey (possibly) I thinkit's a great film

Froddy and Tag ***blush*** I fibbed a wee bit lol - so maybe I am the older one! Note I didn't say more mature.

Im done-I really don't want to do anymore today. I'm still shocked that after so many weeks of cleaning there was STILL so much gunk in there. At any rate, that's all done and... I made the dough for pizza and got the mixed grill done(half to be used on the pizza and half to be added to the pot mix in freezer for tomorrows supper) I also made some of that pasta sauce G&B inspired me towards (I used onion garlic tinned tom basil oregano and parsley with some salt pepper olive oil and a few slices of sundried toms)
It tastes Yum and there's enough to use for some spag bol, so that's three meals I've cooked today:j I think I'm starting to get the hang of this. I guess you could call that menu planning of sorts?
Trouble is whilst in the freezer I noticed we have an abundance of lamb and bacon...any ideas?
Dusty Sorry, what other recipes have I been looking at today?
Rach Hope you feel better soon.

I think I'll do my hotmail purging now...at least I can sit on my bum and cross something off my list.... oops its not on todays list (oh well...its on my weeklies-surely it counts?)

And.........because you made Froddy and I feel old you should enlighten us and tell the whole scary truth:D:p

Just spotted Valli's post. The trouble wasn't the boys (infact DF is quite good about mopping after they're done in there) The grime was still from the old tenants, first there was grout just wiped over instead of washed off after being put down...then stuff that looked that kitchen grease all over that no amount of scrubbing seemed to conquer (but stardrops did).When we moved in our LL apologised about the bathroom tiles and said he would look at putting new ones down in a few months as he didn't think these could be revived.

well, DH didn't notice the hidden lentils in the lasagne and i feel good as although i ate loads it was made with super lean mince, lentils, skimmed milk and low fat cheese (plus some butter lol). DH is washing up and making a cuppa as i type then lazy evening for us.
